“Kill not, innocent any more”. Poem by Aftab Alam

What religion and faith, away from humanity? Heard not the cry, the grief, at sudden sunsetDeath laughs, heaven shy; with humans infirmityDevil tangled, sat on head; teaches ugly pretext.

I am not a learned, yet, it is known to me perfectly No Book has ever taught to kill innocent mercilesslyAway from humanity- hedge, devils silently whisper In disguised, evil verses recited, as a holy character!

Beware, O! My brethren, beware, awake! Awake! Sleep not, awake! Un-blinded, from thy deep slumberForget not dear, think we are one, just you remember We all feel pain and grief, how you can enjoy the ache!

Comments about this poem (“Kill not, innocent any more”. by Aftab Alam )

I do indeed like this one very much, Aftab. One needs not be learnèd to feel the link between all humans, like a fence is made, a chain-link fence of humanity. But you say there are no evil books: try Mein Kampf by Adolf Hitler and you might be stunned.
